Chapter 164: Rebirth

"......Did you mean that you have never forgiven yourself because of your own faults..." Lanceroch sighed slightly, and his excessive expression slowed down again, and a trace of decadence appeared in his white pupils: "So you have to be careful to let us appear in the world again. Now it's Li Yue. After I meet your standards, can you return to the original world?"

I turned around and a hint of complexity appeared in my red pupils, "No... you are too careful, it's just because of my personal meaning. You have been eating and drinking here for a long time, but don't always hope to hide here for a long time..."

After saying that, I shook my cloak, and my body suddenly turned into a large group of bats whizzing from the window. Looking at the direction of my departure, Lanceroch breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again on the chair tiredly. Thinking back to what I had just said, I looked at the bustling crowds outside the window with a little nonchalant silence: "Sure... no matter how hard a few people work, peace and prosperity are just a period in human society? I really... I'm not willing to give up..."

In the edge, a huge figure was obviously confused. It was neither Naval Square nor other places around it, but a large area of ​​ruins that could not be seen at the edge. "Tsk! What the hell is this!" He held the big knife in his hand slightly anxiously, and the figure turned his head again, and what caught his eyes were still broken gray-white ruins.

"Hey! Newgate..." Suddenly, a sound that sounded out of thin air made the shadow pause suddenly, and then turned around in disbelief and looked at the blurry figure in front of him: "Captain Jerry! Is it you? Aren't you dead?"

A more vague smile appeared on his blurred face, and then the figure disappeared again like water vapor in the air. Seeing this situation, Whitebeard was stunned for a moment. The situation in front of him made him frown: "Then the hell! What's going on..."

A low sound suddenly sounded around, like the sound of midnight wind, or like the whispers of a large group of ghosts. Looking around alertly, the white beard cursed: "Battleman! If you have the ability to come out, let me see who you are!"

Hearing the white beard's voice, the sounds around him became louder, like an unscrupulous laugh. There were shadows of some people vaguely appearing in the fog. These people, without exception, had a pair of blood-red pupils, and the grim smile on the corners of their mouths made people shudder, "Silent silent silent...food...food..."

However, at this time, the figure suddenly screamed, and then disappeared again as the fog around him dissipated, a figure wearing a black cloak slowly walked over, looked at the shocked white beard and chuckled, and a teasing curve appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong? White beard, can't you figure out what's going on now? Or is it so difficult to accept his own death?"

Whitebeard frowned, then put away the big knife in his hand as confirmation, and stood it to himself again: "It turned out to be you, this ghost place is..."

"Just the space of the dead... Come with me, go to the place you should go, the dead..." The black cloak floated slightly in the wind formed by the black fog, and two red lights lit up strangely in the red pupils of the figure. "In this way, you can truly realize your wishes in your lifetime and have a real family..."

Whitebeard's pupils contracted slightly. Family, this is something he longed for since childhood. He has been a member of the pirate ship since childhood, and he is neither eager for treasure nor interested in conquest and killing. The only thing he wants is a family with relatives.

"Home...Family..." The white beard lowered his head slightly and savored the words he had longed for since childhood. The figure who waved to him seemed a little anxious and spoke again: "How? Come with me where you should go, so that your wish can be realized..."

Hearing this sentence, Whitebeard raised her head, and before he could answer, another teasing voice came from the other end of the fog: "I really didn't expect that Whitebeard, you are such a useful talent. You have solved a big and small trouble for me just now..."

Hearing this sentence, Whitebeard looked in that direction in a little astonishment, while the figure standing opposite him couldn't help but show a terrified expression, turning around and trying to escape. However, the movement was forced to be interrupted after only half of it. I appeared next to the figure exactly like me, and my left hand wearing black gloves grabbed the other person's head and smashed it hard on the ground without any mercy.

"Crack!" "Crack!" The sound of bone cracks and his miserable hesitation sounded at the same time. The figure I was holding twitched, and my neck twisted into a strange arc. However, I did not stop. Instead, I lifted the figure up and grabbed its left shoulder with my free right hand. He pulled it up and tore the figure in half. However, no drop of blood was splashed out. The figure that was dismembered turned into a black mist and disappeared into the air with a blurry twist.

Looking at this scene, Whitebeard frowned with disgust: "What is this? Kasa, what the hell is this?"

After moving my wrists casually, I turned around and looked at Whitebeard: "It's just hell, you don't think that a pirate like you who do evil things can still go to heaven, right?"

"Hmph!" She snorted coldly, and the white beard looked around: "Don't worry, I've never thought so before. What happened to that bastard just now?"

After scrubbing my ears, I turned around indifferently: "One of the side effects of being too powerful, let's talk about it first. I don't like this place..."

After a moment of froze, Whitebeard looked around again and looked at me in surprise: "What do you mean is this your spiritual world?"

I, who was walking in front, responded without looking back: "Ah, isn't it a natural thing to be created and managed by the demon? Why do you have to look surprised?"

His brows pounded, and the white beard frowned, and a light flashed in his pupils: "So... Ace is here too?"

"Hmph...who knows?" A strange smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: "Forget it, I'll tell you because you have solved a problem for me... Yes, he and your sons who died in the big square are all here. How about it? Do you think this hell is also very warm?"

Her eyebrows stretched out, and the white beard looked at me, and her tone was no longer as depressing as before: "Bastard! You really can suck your appetite! Can you tell me now? What happened to the bastard who was rude to touch others' obsession just now?"

"Ah... it's just a byproduct of the spiritual world..." I walked in front of me with a slight invisible curve of emotion: "When I collected many souls, I discovered this side effect. Some thoughts and thoughts that were forgotten by myself will slowly gather, and then become a spiritual body with the highest mind. This is dangerous, because these dishonest guys will seize control of the body with the real master. Of course, in order to knock down my main consciousness body, he needs a large amount of souls to grow himself, so I must erase it when they have no mental power to compete with me. Do you understand if I say this?"

"..." Recalling my merciless means just now, Whitebeard couldn't help but frown hard: "...It's really a creepy thing..."

"Hey... I'll get used to it after doing it a few more times..." I looked at the palm of my hand jokingly, and a hint of casualness in my tone: "It's just killing myself a few more times. Anyway, those boring thoughts will be reorganized again... Speaking of which, you seem to leave a great fool outside..."

His eyes were silent, and the white beard who followed me sighed, "Dic? I can't do it..."

I sneered and turned around with some joke: "Is it just because of his last 'Dad'? Your obsession is strange enough..."

This time, unexpectedly, I did not refute my words, and Whitebeard's voice was a bit heroic: "I have different personal obsessions. It's not too much to do anything for this... It's just... Thank you for the hard work of those living children..."

As we walked and spoke, the fog around us gradually faded, and then a broken circular square appeared in front of us, a crooked statue stretched out its hands towards the sky, and there, several figures stopped with interest: "Oh, it seems that someone is here to greet you, white beard..."

There were three people standing in the square, namely Sai, Ace and Renault. Sai was smiling, while Ace was a little surprised, but she looked at the Whitebeard with more emotion, and her tone choked: "Old...Dad..."

Renault's face was not very good. Seeing this scene, I probably knew what was going on. I looked at Say a little helplessly: "Huh... Say, Say, are you too enthusiastic about your drinkers? It's so embarrassing for me to just run to the edge... "

"Hahaha, don't care, don't care..." Haha, Say gave a thumbs up at the white beard behind me, and his eyes were filled with admiration: "Good! Brother! I have seen everything about you! You are such a qualified father!"

"Ha...a prize..." Whitebeard was stunned for a moment, but then laughed: "My name is Edward Newgate, where are you?"

Left the chattering Whitebeard, Ace and Say, I took a casual look at Renault: "What's wrong? Renault?"

"Master Casa..." Renault's tone was not very good, as if he had not taken advantage of the old bachelor Sai, who was indifferent to the oil and salt. "The undead of this earth god insisted on showing up on the edge with another dead person..."

Hearing Renault's words, I looked at Sai and Whitebeard who were having a good conversation. The two of them even sat opposite each other and drank. Sai was a standard alcoholic and always kept leaving the wine pot. "Forget it, now we should go out from here too. Thank you for your hard work this time..."

"No...this is nothing, Lord Casa..." Renault's expression was still a little depressed, and he left here first. He looked at Ace who was standing next to the white beard listening to Sai and the white beard talking. I sighed helplessly. At this time, a slightly irritable woman's voice suddenly rang nearby: "Kasa!! Didn't you say that I let me out today? Why can't I find you after I dress up? Do you want to keep your word? And you! Please find another place with taste when you drink!!"

That's right, the roaring woman was either someone else, Phoenix Liyue. The most unbearable beauty of this former Vulcan God was waiting. Liyue, who appeared here in a gem red dance dress, glanced at me angrily, then looked at Sai, who was already hiding aside with cold sweat on her face, and then chose to look at me with a grievance: "Then, Kasa, is it really a lie this time?"

"...How could it be!" I was amused and crying and nodded quickly: "I just went to find the soul of a big man who had mistakenly entered the Lost Sea. Now we can set out to leave here..."

"Ou Ye! That's great!" He rushed over and gave me a bear hug. Li Yue happily pulled my arm: "Then let's go quickly! I can't wait to see the world outside now!!"

Nodded, I looked at Sai: "Okay, Sai, you'll take them back later. Anyway, you're familiar with the road... I'll leave with Li Yue..."

"Yeah! OK!" Sai nodded and was about to turn around, but at this time Ace, next to the white beard, gritted his teeth, looked at me hesitantly, and spoke decisively: "Please wait a moment!"

"?" Turning back at Ace, who was about to speak, I smiled slightly: "What's wrong? Ace of Fire Fist, are there anything else you can't let go of, who is dead?"

The white beard next to Ace looked at him, his eyes full of understanding, "Kasa! Let's make a deal!"

"Oh? What kind of transaction?" I looked at Baibei with interest: "I'm very curious about taking the initiative to trade with me, let's listen..."

"I can completely obey you here, as long as you don't hurt my sons, and..." He glanced at Ace, and the white beard smiled slightly, his face full of love: "Let Ace go out! He is still young, and it is not suitable for him here..."

"Old...Dad...what are you talking about stupid things?" Ace looked at Baibei excitedly, and gritted his teeth: "That's the case..."

"Hehe! I am your father! How could I not see your worries..." He lowered his head and patted Ace on the shoulder, and the white beard laughed: "Aren't you still worried about that girl? I'm very optimistic about her sister! Maybe she can really inherit Roger's will!"

The red eyes flashed strangely, and I touched my chin: "This is a very attractive condition for me, but Fire Fist Ace is dead, and this person is impossible to appear in the world, so..."

Hearing my words, Whitebeard sighed, Ace lowered her head, and I smiled slightly: "But if it was someone with another identity, it would be OK..."

"Hey?" He raised his head in surprise, Ace's eyes were a little excited, and seeing Ace's white beard with a look of relief, while Li Yue next to me was a little angry and twisted me angrily: "Then! Kasa! You meant that you wanted me to share my body with this useless boy, right? Damn it! I don't want it!!"

"Uh..." A drop of cold sweat came down from my forehead and I had to whisper to coax the Miss Vulcan: "Is this good? If you want, I will promise you to accompany you to see the cherry blossoms in the Magnetic Gun Kingdom. How about it?"

"A lie! There is no cherry blossom tree in the Magnetic Gun Kingdom!"

"Uh, this is true, there are really cherry blossoms there now..."

"Oh? Really? That's good! But I have to be the subject!"

"This is OK!"

Looking at Li Yue and me, Whitebeard and Ace on the side were a little shocked. Whitebeard looked at Li Yue and laughed: "I didn't expect that, does the demon also have someone like his own?"

"Unbelievable..." Ace looked at Li Yue and nodded: "But, he is really a very powerful senior..."

"Haha, rest assured..." Sai looked at Li Yue and me and smiled slightly: "This is already a tacit understanding for them, and for them this is something that neither of them is worthy of doubt. If you insist on why, it should be that it is suspected that the other party's mistake is no longer worth making again..."

On this side, I finally coaxed Li Yue and looked at Ace. I breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Ace of Fire Fist, I promised to give you rebirth again, but you can only choose to be the shadow of the rebirth of the Vulcan God. Even so, do you want it?"

"Haha... shadow?" Ace chuckled self-deprecatingly: "If this is the case, I will accept it, after all... that guy Luffy... I really can't rest assured..."

"Okay...just go..." I nodded slightly as Ace walked to me, and a light lit up in my red pupils: "Be careful, the road from hell to the earth is not very stable!"

Watching Ace walk to me, the white beard sighed slightly: "Son of Ace, Idiot, be careful in the future..."

"Dad!" Kneeling towards the Whitebeard, Ace burst into tears again: "I will remember your kindness forever! Goodbye!"

"Go!"

The cloak behind me suddenly rose, and then turned into three pairs of black wings that wrapped around Li Yue and Ace next to me. My body slowly disappeared into the air, and Li Yue and Ace also disappeared from this space.

...On the other hand, in the rear laboratory of the Navy headquarters, Aku Aragna and three others had stopped, wiped the sweat on their foreheads, and Sphincsona put on her round-frame glasses again: "Okay! Now it's officially finished!"
Chapter completed!
